The Genie 18428D.S is an OEM replacement drive chain engineered for Genie chain drive garage door openers paired with 8 ft (96 in) high sectional garage doors and containing 522 pitches (522P). The additional pitch count (522 vs 474 for the 7 ft variant GE-18428B.S) accounts for the longer rail travel required when opening an 8 ft door. The chain drives the carriage trolley along the opener T-rail, transmitting motor torque to smooth door travel. The chain master link GE-20060A.S is used to join the chain ends during installation or replacement. This chain is not intended for 7 ft, 10 ft, or taller door configurations, or for belt or screw drive opener models.
